I've never been to POSH since the Richmond location closed and this was my first time at the Burnaby location. Despite its horror reviews, I thought the place was okay. It was depressingly empty for dinner time and I could hear the other two tables were there because they got some sort of Groupon/Living Social deals. The interior wasn't overly pleasant but it wasn't dirty either. I thought the service was exceptionally well and the server spoke fluent English, which is rare for a Chinese/Japanese restaurant as such.

It was all - you - can - eat, but with limited options for meat, we could only order a million plates of the same beef. Okay, the meat didn't taste as good as I remembered. But then because the place was quite empty, we got served very quickly and our orders arrived as requested ( many reviewers said that they would order 10 plates and only 2 would show)

We ordered quite a few plates of vegetables too, as each order was really SOOOOOOO LITTLE, like just two or three branches of each veggie, no kidding. Oh, okay I guess I just saw it on the menu I posted below that each order is 1g, hahaha. Alright, I guess considered yourself warned. And other stuff like tofu or even mushrooms were ordered by the piece, good luck measuring how much you would eat.
Usually I don't eat much carbs when I go hot pot, because people usually just eat meat and vegetables and call it a day. But because I'm such a Chinese and I live on rice, I ignored the only likelihood I'll not have carbs and ordered this pack of instant noodle - one of the worst kind of carbs. No regrets though, it was a good addition, highly recommended.

When I eat sukiyaki, I consume a ton of eggs. Japanese people love to dip their hot pot ingredients in raw eggs, and I've picked up that habit religiously. I could eat like 4 - 5 raw eggs in one setting if it was for Sukiyaki. Everything tastes so good when dipped in raw eggs - try it !

As I mentioned earlier, pay attention to the units when you fill out your ordering sheet. This can be tricky, at least for me.

Overall, I thought it was a mediocre experience. It wasn't bad but it was not something I'd write home about. Honestly though, I made sukiyaki once at home, and I thought it tasted better than what I had in POSH. So it's either I made crazy kickass Sukiyakis or POSH has really gone on an upsetting downhill path.
